In my opinion one of the best horror flicks in the last five years was David Slade’s 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. Agreed? I’m pretty sure most people out there would agree with me which means it’s upcoming sequel 30 DAYS OF NIGHT: DARK DAYS should be highly anticipated, right? Right.
Well that flick is currently filming under the watchful eye of director Ben Ketai and the guys over at Bloody Disgusting hit up the set recently and chatted it up with creator/co-writer Steve Niles. In the interview Niles spilled some juicy info hinting that DARK DAYS may not be the last 30 DAYS OF NIGHT flick heading our way: “”Right now we’re just trying to get this one in the can. If that goes well, we’re set up to move forward. We got a great young cast that we can bring along if this works out well, and we’ll be ready to keep going with the story. Plus, the comics are done. God, what do we have, like seven different graphic novels now if it actually took off?” The writer also talks about why the gorgeous Melissa George didn’t return to reprise her role as ‘Stella.’ Just head right over HERE to check that out.
30 DAYS OF NIGHT is a successful franchise in the graphic novel world so unless DARK DAYS tanks there’s no reason to stop the franchise on the screen. DARK DAYS stars Rhys Coiro, Mia Kirshner, Harold Perrineau, Kiele Sanchez (below), Diora Baird, Rhys Coiro, Monique Ganderton, Marco Sorian and Katherine Isabelle. Here’s the synopsis: It’s been a year since the Alaskan town of Barrow’s population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, Stella is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.
No word on a release date for DARK DAYS yet but as always be sure to keep it here for updates as we hear them!
